When the pain cuts you deep
When the night keeps you from sleeping
Just look and you will see
I will be your remedy
When you recognise, that from all your works this one is the best. So epic! What do you think?
( I just don't have access to LEGO so I can't build anything new yet )
When I was wandering, I encountered a Kyoto-like place that I had seen on TV.
ウロウロしてたらなんかテレビで見たことある京都っぽいところに遭遇。

When the lights naff, think differently.. One from a couple of hours in Dinorwic doing Infrared yesterday afternoon.
When driving on the Hawaii Belt Road near Hilo and you see signs for a "Scenic Drive". Trust me, turn and follow. This was on my very very long list of places to see, but didn't immediately remember when we were near. We almost drove right past it as we were on our way to Mauna Kea. Screeching the tires and turning around was such a great idea...
When i saw this red hibiscus, i made a shot pointing my focus at a different angle to choose a different background. Automatically, i turned off my exposure compensation by a minus 1.8 which i always do for reds. Thanks to those who view, comment and fave my photo. It will be highly appreciated.
When you drive north of Headquarters through the horse trap, you top this bluff to find a great view overlooking the north end of the ranch. This is how it looks with hard, early morning light.
When I was young, much younger than today, I used to wonder why Nana's loved lavender and I just thought it was an old persons thing. Now I am six months off being 70! I understand why. I LOVE lavender. I go to sleep with it each night using it in aromatherapy.
When I first saw this building a few years ago, the first thing I thought of was Dairy Queen. However, doing some more research, this actually appears to be a former Red Barn restaurant. For anyone who doesn't know, Red Barn was a chain of fast food restaurants operating from 1961 up to the late 80's, with 300-400 locations at its peak. They also had locations in Pennsylvania, so I assume this was one of them.
The building was vacant when I took this photo, with the previous tenant appearing to be a diner also called Red Barn. It currently serves as Lancaster Avenue Auto Sales.
My camera and I haven't been too close this last week or so. She wants to head out and hit the trails, and I have to keep denying the chance in favor of, well, those various reasons that always seem to get in the way of doing the things we want to do.
Instead, today, when I'm feeling every one of the years I've seen fly by, I decided to dig into the archives and find a moment when the only thing that mattered was the complete cessation of time. When the day kissed the night and everything stood still.

When blue turns to grey - Rolling Stones
Blue turns to grey (blue turns to grey)
She has gone away (blue turns to grey)
I feel so bad (blue turns to grey)
I wish you'd come on home (blue turns to grey)
I feel, I feel so down
When the sun set and the light went and found this beautiful flower and picked up her bad this image
This photo was an accident, but I thought it was still too pretty to delete : ) I was taking photos of this gorgeous Common Grackle, when it disappeared from sight and then suddenly popped up much closer than I was expecting. I cropped the sides of the photo to make it square, but other than that, this is how the photo was taken : ) Though these birds seem to be unpopular, I love to see them and try and capture their iridescent beauty. They appear to be a black bird, but when the sun catches them, they come alive with colour.
"Common Grackles are blackbirds that look like they've been slightly stretched. They're taller and longer tailed than a typical blackbird, with a longer, more tapered bill and glossy-iridescent bodies. Grackles walk around lawns and fields on their long legs or gather in noisy groups high in trees, typically evergreens. They eat many crops (notably corn) and nearly anything else as well, including garbage. In flight their long tails trail behind them, sometimes folded down the middle into a shallow V shape."

Two days ago, on 4 June 2015, it was a dry day, though a thunderstorm was forecast. After grey skies and rain the previous couple of days, I felt like going for a drive. Started at a wetland in SW Calgary, where I saw the usual Lesser Scaup and Redheads. The male Redhead did not like any of the other ducks around him and would chase away each one in turn. Quite the bully! Also managed to get a few more shots of a Common Grackle, including this one, though they move fast and seemingly constantly.
From there, I drove some of my usual backroads SW of the city. The clouds were building up quite dramatically, and I stopped at one wetland where they were reflected quite beautifully. I didn't see all that many birds, but was content to get a few chances to photograph a pair of Mountain Bluebirds, Tree Swallows, an Eastern Kingbird, and a Savannah Sparrow. No Wilson's Snipe this time, though I thought I had one on a distant fence post. Turned out to be a Mourning Dove - only the second time I've ever seen one on a fence post. Also saw a Swainson's Hawk which flew and landed on a high power pole near where the Bluebirds and Tree Swallows were nesting. The Tree Swallows, in true fashion, were causing the Bluebirds enough stress by flying and landing just a foot or two away from the Bluebirds' nesting box. The male Bluebird did such a great job of chasing away its rather beautiful, iridescent neighbours - which I also enjoy photographing. So, a short trip, but one that I always enjoy, especially each spring.
situated on the border of salzburg and upper austria. I passed it the last time yesterday when I came home from Mondsee but didn't have my camera with me. So I went there by car today and took some shots of it. Unfortunately I will not be able to take a lot of pictures in the next couple of weeks...I have my final oral exam end of june and all I do right now is learning and sometimes swearing and crying...buuuhuu
I love miley cyrus. she is so beautiful and talented. [song: when i look at you]
so, i was tagged three times, which is a huge honour, so here i go. ten things.
- i bought my olympus on february 26, 2010
- truthfully, most of my photos are picniked in some way. even if they are fine the way they are, there is always something i can find to do to them.
- i have no idea what i want to do for the rest of my life
- i don't wear socks. ever.
- i have the worst job ever. EVER.
- hint: i have giant biceps as a result of my job. haha, not really. ;)
- i love music everywhere from tokio hotel to hannah montana, to ingrid michaelson to beyonce. i love it all. [just not country. *shudders*]

- my dream is have one of my photos on the front page of explore.
When Thiess Services won the massive collection contract for the Gosford and Wyong council areas (Central Coast Council today), they went down an irregular path for bulk waste clean-ups. In general across the country it has been a 2 or 3 man job, manually loading junk in the back of a rear loader, with odd exceptions of mechanical assistance in some locations. Instead of what has been typical, Thiess went with the concept of a solo operation, acquiring a group of rear loaders consisting of Iveco cab chassis’ and Garwood bodies, but they also fitted Hiab grapple cranes. The idea was to have a single driver do bulky general and garden waste services alone, while eliminating manual handling by providing a hydraulic crane system to do all the heavy lifting and physical work. While great in concept, it worked out to be impractical and too slow of a process, so later on the company reverted to the common driver and offsider method of tackling this task. Still a different and cool idea anyway!

When I took this shot I could see the light on the grass but I never thought the light would show up on the grass as much as this .
When cleaning out my daughters bicycle bag, this pretty lady came running out to greet us. I kept her for a night to take some photos before she was safely returned to the yard. P audax is definitely my favorite of the Salticidae found in my area - they also happen to be the largest of the salticid family in my area. Even this very small P. audax is many times larger than the other jumping spiders I just posted. I'd say they are my favorite spider, period, but it's a close call with some of the Lycosidae (wolf spiders) I find around here. Though the P. audax has pretty generic colorings and marking, the bright green, yellow and sometimes blue chelicerae makes up for the bright colors that many other Salticidae have.
P. audax are very inquisitive little spiders and don't shy from humans as quickly as many other spiders. They live in a very broad region and are commonly found around and inside houses. Their bite is NOT MEDICALLY SIGNIFICANT. Though, just like all spiders, they have venom, it does not have any affect on humans barring the very rare infection or allergic reaction. They are, however, great at assisting in controlling pest insects like flies and mosquitos, so they should be seen as a welcomed house guest rather than a target for shoes or newspaper - hint hint.
Tech - Canon 70d, YN560 speedlite and homemade diffuser, Canon 100mm macro usm (non L), and either a raynox 250 achromat or a set (65mm) of Zeikos automatic extension tubes (forget and cant tell which for this shot which should be a testament to how good the Raynox is).
and all the gray is gone, everytime I see you smile. What i'd do to make you see who you are to me.
Say hello to my lovely best friend and incredible sister Hannah. This was taken on the way home from camp tonight and after she shared some heavy things that had been on her heart..
I am so honored I am to be a part of her life. She chooses to stay faithful and strong through hardships no one should ever have to face. Her heart is hands down the most beautiful I've ever gotten to know and she sets an example for me daily. God was thinking of our family when he made her.
When I captured this image, we were having very strong wind gust.
I'm amazed that she was able to get her beak into this tiny blossom when it was so windy.
When we propped up a mattress outside our front door, to keep it dry while it was awaiting collection by the Council, little did we know that it would become a perch for the cats. First Lola lay on top of it, then Macey replaced her. This is Macey, asking to come into the house. The distortion is caused by the obscured glazing.
Today the Hereios of the We're Here! group are focusing on Illusions.

When SHe looks this pretty, I just have to order a pizza so I can share how pretty and feminine and sissylike he looks with the Pizza delivery person. Not fair to keep such a prissy look only to myself to view
